Is anyone else experiencing issues with Webflow when uploading multiple custom fonts at once? It seems that now you can only select and install one font at a time, and attempting to upload another without installing causes Webflow to crash.
TL;DR
- Upload and install each font file individually in Webflow, ensuring you complete the upload process before starting the next.
- Skipping the installation step between uploads may cause UI crashes; no official fix exists yet, so report issues to Webflow support or the community forum.
Webflow users have reported recent issues when uploading multiple custom fonts simultaneously. The platform now appears to restrict font uploads to one file at a time, and skipping the “install” step before uploading the next file may cause crashes.
1. Current Upload Behavior
- Webflow recently changed how custom font uploads are handled.
- You can now only upload and process one font file at a time via the Project Settings > Fonts panel.
- Attempting to upload a second file before clicking ‘Upload Font’ for the first can cause the browser or Webflow UI to freeze or refresh unexpectedly.
2. Recommended Upload Workflow
- Upload one font file (e.g.,
.woff,.ttf) using the Custom Font Family form. - Complete the process by clicking Upload Font after each file.
- Wait until the font fully installs and displays in the uploaded fonts list.
- Only then should you proceed to upload the next file.
3. Workaround for Multiple Weights or Styles
- If you’re uploading multiple weights or styles of the same family:
- Still upload each weight/style variant individually.
- Assign each one to the appropriate weight and style setting when prompted.
- Example: For Open Sans Bold, upload the
.woffor.ttf, choose "Bold", and upload it fully before moving on to Open Sans Regular.
4. Known Webflow Bug or Limitation
- This behavior seems to be a UI limitation or temporary bug and has been echoed by users in Webflow’s forums and support channels.
- No official fix or workaround has been announced as of now (latest Webflow updates as of mid-2024).
5. Reporting the Issue
- If you’re consistently experiencing crashes:
- Report the behavior directly via Webflow’s support form.
- Include OS/browser details, steps to reproduce, and any console errors, if possible.
- You can also search or post in the Webflow Forum for confirmation or updates.
Summary
Uploading multiple custom fonts in Webflow now requires a one-at-a-time process, completing each upload before starting the next. Skipping the install step between uploads may cause crashes. Stick to uploading and installing each font variant separately until Webflow resolves this issue.
